the UVD Robots story

We know Hospital Acquired Infections and Robotics Technology.
…In fact, we made the robot that set the new standards for automated and secure disinfection.

History

UVD Robots ApS was founded in 2016 by Blue Ocean Robotics with the objective of global commercialising robotic based UV Disinfection solutions for hospitals. The incorporation of the company followed a Private Public Innovation project starting in 2014, where Blue Ocean Robotics and Odense University Hospital OUH in partnership with other hospitals in Denmark, developed the first prototype of the UV-Disinfection Robot, with the objective of preventing Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI’s) for the benefit of patients, hospital staff and associated healthcare costs.

What is the need

Hospital Acquired Infections are a significant and increasing problem in the global healthcare sector, where each year millions of patients are infected and thousands of patients die due to infections acquired during hospitalization. Furthermore, the HAIs result in significant extra costs for hospitals, due to additional days spent in bed, readmissions and reduced operational efficiency.

Why we do what we do

UVD Robots philosophy is centered around integrating proven UV germicidal industrial solutions with new advanced robot technologies creating innovative products helping the healthcare industry in the eradication of harmful pathogens and superbugs, thereby making healthcare environments safer and improving quality of care for hospitals and healthcare facilities around the world.

The company

UVD Robots is a Danish based company focused on the expansion of our business and distribution set-up on a global scale. We are represented in most regions through our rapidly expanding distribution/distributor’s network.

Why UVD Robots?

UVD Robots stands for UV Disinfection Robots – and that is what we develop. We utilize the effects of high intensity light sources to think disruptive robot technology in ways that improve work environment, patient safety levels and operational efficiency for customers.
